CORNEL WILDE
Black and white publicity photo of the bare-chested actor holding a saber, signed "Good
Luck!"
Inscribed Photograph signed: "To George Smith -/ Good Luck!/ Cornel Wilde" in black felt tip,
b/w, 8x10 overall, 7¼x9½ image, one surface. The film career of multilingual Cornel Wilde
(1912-1989) took off when he earned a Best Actor Oscar nomination for his role as
Chopin in A Song to Remember (1945). Other big roles followed in pictures such as Forever
Amber (1947) and The Greatest Show on Earth (1952). Wilde, who produced many of his
own films, often starred in historical epics (Constantine and the Cross, 1962). His last
starring role was in The Norseman (1978). Interestingly, Wilde gave up a spot on the 1936
U.S. Olympic fencing team to pursue an acting career. In fact, he served as a fencing
instructor for the Broadway version of Olivier's Hamlet (1940). Lightly toned, creased, and
bowed. Signature is somewhat smeared. Faint impressions on image (not visible head-on).
Paper loss at top and left edge. Dents at left edge. Otherwise, fine condition.
